Public Domain

What does “public domain” mean?

A
work in the public domain can be used without permission from the copyright
owner and without paying copyright royalties. The phrase ”public domain”
is a copyright term referring to works that belong to the public.

Works
can be in the public domain for a variety of reasons. One is because the
term of copyright protection has expired. Copyright protection has a set time
limit. When the time ends, the work falls into the public domain.

Works
then belong to the public and anyone may use them without permission
or the payment of royalties. The term of copyright protection for photographs
taken before 1955 has accordingly expired, regardless of whether the author has
since died or is still alive and are available for use in the public domain.

Prizes in 2017

This year we will have two main prize packs - one will be selected by Creative Team vote and due to the high cost of international postage will only be available to Australian/NZ entrants. The other prize is purely by random draw and available to everyone regardless of country of residence - so anyone could be a winner, no matter your style or your level of experience. We will also offer one lucky entrant a chance to guest with us for the following month.
